Reinforce the R-bend with braid or a plastic zip tie, and also replace the split ring on the back BB swivel with an appropriate sized snap (allows for quick back blade changes). Go single bigger willow for slow rolling deeper but still maintaining faster cranking speed, smaller blades to run deeper, add soldering wire to the hook shank for more weight to run deeper... Tons of old school tricks long forgotten.

Fishing the California Delta with Spinnerbaits is great. Blue Fox use to sell the Best Spinnerbaits that came with a Trailer Hook. Can't find them anymore. Chartus was the color of choice at the time I used a 1/2 or 5/8 oz to give me a slow sinking retrieve just enough to get the Blades turning and Bang, got him. I still use Spinnerbaits and can cover a lot of Water. It is definitely a go to Bait. It is all about reading the Water, placement, and presentation. Go out there and get-em guys.

For colder water, darker skies/lower light, windy conditions, discolored water, and/or when you need a more compact silhouette, run a Double and single Colorado, remove the skirt, run a Yamamoto Spider Grub or something of that nature...no need for a trailer hook. FWIW, all these techs were long lost in the 1990s...and especially running swimbait bodies on spinnerbaits since the early 1990s, back then it was usually just a chunk of Slugo lol. Good to see the classic and timeless lure get some respect.

@tacticalbassin Tim I gotta tell ya.. I want to thank you and Matt for continuing to bring content and keeping me pumped about bass fishing. I work labor job so it's hard to find the energy sometimes but when I'm getting ready for work in the morning I'm watching your show I'm pumped I'm putting poles in the car I'm going at lunch or I'm going after work. I don't think I would have had the night I had tonight without learning a lot of stuff that I learned from watching you guys and even though I'm older I'm bass fishing since I was old enough to talk. You can always learn and you guys are great teachers. Tonight on the rip rap about 2 hours after the sun went down. I caught a three and a half, two knucklehead catfish that are over 10 lb each, after that a drum in the 5 lb range and a monster 9.7 oz bass. personal record by about a pound. On a weightless soft plastic stick bait I don't want to say which kind. I've been killing it with this soft plastic that I found watching you guys show. Anyways I just wanted to say thanks.

My first fish on an artificial lure technically came on a Texas rigged worm BUT my first fish on a hard, moving bait was on a spinnerbait and it was epic. I fished a small, shallow, grass field reservoir for the first few months and the spinnerbait was about the only lure that I threw and the first day, I walked up to the pipe at the dam and saw a 4 and 5 pounder cruising and I went on that day to catch a 6,5,4,3 and a 2.5lber all on the spinnerbait and I was HOOKED!!! I've been a fishing freak ever since that fateful day. 😎🇺🇸🤙

In the beginning with giant rigs on huge line and heavy rods, I can see that. But today's rigs (our tactical mini flex. For example) is hardly bigger than a full frame spinnerbait, weighs about the same, and requires no special gear.

A spinner bait stays on one of my rods so often because you can throw it anywhere without worrying if it will get hung up. Fish it fast, slow, through trees, grass, open water. It just gets through everything. Also i know Tim is an expert, but for the newcomers to fishing, dont think you can't catch a boatload of bass on a $1 walmart spinnerbait.

All the spinnerbaits I have that have long skirts, always get tangled up in the blades. Isn’t it better to run a trailer so there’s more for them to suck up?

Sounds like you're using spinnerbaits that aren't running flat, that's how the blade is getting close enough to the skirt to draw it in.

I NEED HELP! It's been HOT, sunny (NOT A CLOUD), and slick calm. I fish from shore, so where I fish only gets to about 7 to 8 feet deep max. My water is still in the Prespawn range, upper 50's, maybe still under 60°F. I'm getting skunked other than a few small buck bass on wacky rigged stickbaits. Weeds are barely starting, there is some shallow slimey green algae. What would you throw???

@live2fishofficial Жыл бұрын

Been throwing spinners, lipless cranks and jerkbaits with a lot of success given the dirty water and rising temps. The air temps have been high, boosting the water temps over 50 now, but that cold front next week will have them pushing that spawn back a bit.
